During his Jharkhand rally, Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about various developmental schemes undertaken by the 'Double engine' government of Jharkhand and the recently introduced Citizenship Amendment Act. While talking about the Citizenship Amendment Act, Amit Shah invited students to study the CAA and also alleged opposition parties like AAP, TMC, and Congress of misleading people and spreading the atmosphere of violence in the country.
He said, "I appeal to the students to study the Citizenship Amendment Bill. There is no provision to take away the citizenship of anyone. Parties like Congress, AAP, and the TMC party are misleading you and creating an atmosphere of violence inside the country."
"Jharkhand strayed on the path of development due to Naxalism"- HM Amit Shah
Talking about how Jharkhand had once strayed on the path of development due to Naxalism Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Jharkhand once strayed on the path of development because of Naxalism. Road construction, access to electricity, water and toilets were difficult in Jharkhand. The double engine government of Modi Ji and Raghuvar Ji overthrew Naxalism from inside Jharkhand and today Jharkhand is moving forward."
At the Poreyahat rally, Amit Shah also spoke about the dilapidated state of Jharkhand before BJP came into power, and how the 'double engine government' of the state provided basic amenities like electricity, drinking water, toilets, gas connections, etc. He said, "BJP got Jharkhand in a dilapidated state. Within five years, BJP has done the job of providing electricity to every household, toilets, gas connections, drinking water, and through Sakhi Mandal, BJP has done the job of providing employment to Pregnant women."
